    Brazil abolished daylight saving time in 2019. The country has four time zones: UTC-2 (Fernando de Noronha), UTC-3 (Brasília, São Paulo, Rio and most of the coast), UTC-4 (Manaus and much of the Amazon) and UTC-5 (Acre).

    Salvador is 1,058 km from Brasília, the capital.

    By the sun, noon in Salvador falls at about 11:34 AM (on average over the year). The city lies at 38.50° west, and every degree of longitude shifts the sun by 4 minutes. The sun runs ahead of the clock here: it gets light early in the morning and dark early in the evening. See the sunrise and sunset times in Salvador.
